A VA was never meant to be a low-cost alternative to hiring an employee, but many clients believe they will save money by going with a VA versus an employee. There are some instances where a VA is not the right solution for a business.

In this episode, we discuss the signs that you may NOT be ready for a VA and situations where a VA is not the best solution.

Virtual Assistants come with a whole range of skills, some are easy to share on their services page while others are not quantifiable as VA work. Some examples we share are brainstorming, coaching, reiki, or tarot reading.

This episode discusses the hidden skills a VA can bring to the VA/Client relationship beyond the traditional handoff tasks.

We’re back and so happy you’ve returned for Season Two!

VAs learn something new every day and for every client. They may not always update their services page or share all the new skills they have learned.

In this episode, we discuss how important it is to ask during the interview process or, if you’re already working with a VA if they are interested in taking on or learning new skills for you.

You found a VA. Yay!! Now what? Getting started is the fun part but it can be a little overwhelming. Most of the time, a VA will let the client lead the onboarding process. The client brings the WHAT and the VA is the resource for the HOW. This getting started call is usually logistical, so what do you need to consider?

In this episode, we discuss the onboarding process. We’ll tell you what’s important to think about and have ready.

Reminder: This is the last episode of Season 1, but we will be back. Make sure you subscribe to receive notifications for when we return in the Fall for Season 2.

The interview process looks different for everyone but it’s an important first step in the hiring process. Once you know the qualities you’re looking for in a VA, it’s helpful to craft questions to ask during the interview process. Take your time with this process and interview with more than one VA.

In this episode, we discuss the interview process and what’s important to know and look for.

Reminder: We are wrapping up Season 1 with our next episode. Make sure you subscribe to receive notifications when we return in the Fall for Season 2.
